Warning about drug-resistant genes in livestock waste in Vietnam

According to the Agriculture and Environment newspaper, a technical workshop at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry emphasized the important role of controlling antibiotic use in livestock farming, aiming to protect public health and improve the quality of agricultural products.

On the morning of September 19, Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry organized a technical workshop with the theme “Solutions for controlled antibiotic use in livestock farming”. The event attracted the participation of many experts, scientists, businesses, lecturers and students in the field of livestock and veterinary medicine.

In her keynote speech, Associate Professor Dr. Vo Thi Tra An (Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry) said that research in Vietnam found that up to 82% of livestock waste samples in provinces such as Dong Nai and Binh Duong (formerly) contained antibiotic-resistant genes. Bacteria such as E.coli, Salmonella, Clostridium and Staphylococcus aureus isolated from meat, milk, eggs and livestock showed high resistance rates to many antibiotics, posing a major threat to both the veterinary industry and public health.

The report also pointed out that in some chicken, duck and pig farms in the Southeast region, pathogenic bacteria have a resistance rate of 60-80% to common antibiotics such as tetracycline, ampicillin and gentamicin. This situation not only reduces the effectiveness of disease treatment in livestock but also leads to the risk of antibiotic residues in food, negatively affecting human health and the reputation of the agricultural export industry.

Speaking at the workshop, Mr. Le Quang Thong, Head of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, emphasized: “Controlling antibiotic use is an urgent requirement to meet international standards and is a shared responsibility of the entire livestock industry. Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry is committed to working with management agencies, businesses and farmers to develop safe and sustainable alternative solutions.”
